Nico Hulkenberg’s Biggest Fan Celebrates His First Podium!

Nico Hulkenberg's milestone in Formula 1 was celebrated by his daughter

Lando Norris won the British Grand Prix 2025 at the Silverstone Circuit. But it wasn’t the Papaya Briton who claimed the fame yesterday. All eyes in the Formula 1 paddock were on a green Sauber racing towards the finish line. Behind the Sauber was 13 time podium winner of the British GP, Lewis Hamilton. However, Nico Hulkenberg, the driver of the Sauber had never won a podium in his career let alone the British GP.

In a race where conditions were tricky enough to take out 5 cars, Hulkenberg drove from P19 to P3 to claim his first F1 podium. Hulkenberg was being relentlessly pursued by Lewis Hamilton. The Briton was pressuring the Sauber in a much faster Ferrari throughout the last laps. However, Hulk held in and faced the pressure valiantly. He did not commit a single mistake on the wet and treacherous track to hold on to his podium. The joy among his fans was best portrayed by someone special.

During his post-race interview, an ecstatic Hulkenberg was quick to mention his family. The German was talking about his family and celebrating with him. He was greeted to grand welcome in the Sauber garage. Little did he know, that is family was celebrating more than any fan of his. The Hulk’s wife and daughter could not visit the paddock for the British GP but that did not stop them from making their presence known.

A few hours after his podium winning race a video was released by the F1 official on their social media. In the video a little girl was cheering and dancing when Hulkenberg appeared on the podium.
